Information Brochure/Syllabus

MORARJI DESAI NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF YOGA

Yoga is essentially spiritual. It dignifies the essential unity that is the basis of life. It embraces the full spectrum of reality, from the most spiritual to the most material. The Philosophy of Yoga is practical and applicable in our day-to-day living. The practice of Yoga is a process of self - discovery. It is an awakening of long deep rooted memories of whom and what we really are! Yoga, as union, implies perfect harmony of body and mind. It implies the harmonious integration of personality. The most common benefit of Yoga practice is the sense of well being at all levels of our existence.

Yoga understands health and well-being as a dynamic continuum of human nature and not a mere ‘state’ to be attained and maintained. The lowest point on the continuum with the lowest speed of vibration is that of death whereas the highest point with the highest vibration is that of immortality; in between these two extremes lays the states of normal health and disease. Yoga involves a holistic approach to healing and well-being and integrates healing with the culture, diet, environment and tradition. Yoga practices have shown to reduce physiological signs of mental stress, both in normal persons and in those with abnormally high levels of stress. Therefore it has got world-wide acceptance as an important system of health care.

Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY), New Delhi is an autonomous organization fully funded by the Department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. It is a focal Institute for planning, training, promotion and coordination of Yoga education, training, therapy and research in all aspects.

MDNIY is conducting Diploma in Yoga Science for Graduates of one year duration for the last 15 years which is very popular course within and outside India. The Diploma holders are getting ample job

opportunities both in public and private sectors. Institute has started B.Sc. (Yoga Science) of three years duration from the academic year 2012-13 with the affiliation of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, New Delhi, which is unique. Institute is also conducting many other Yoga educational, therapy and training programs. It is also conducting many other activities relating to Yoga promotion, propagation and research.

With the growing demand for the systems of Yoga world-wide, the Institute is getting requests for starting the short term courses in different aspects of Yoga. Therefore, the Institute has proposed to start Certificate Course on different popular techniques of Yoga. Pranayama and Meditation are two such popular

practices, and therefore the Institute is starting a Certificate Course in Pranayama and Meditation for Health Promotion. This is a 120 hrs. part time Course of 3 months duration to provide basic, classical and scientific knowledge about Pranayama and practices leading to Meditation.
